Exporting Azure Data Factory (ADF) into TFS Source Control

Like many people probably did, I started by creating Azure Data Factories within the Azure portal. Then the question was “How to get ADF into TFS?” because it’s probably a good idea to have it in source control along with everything else. I searched online and didn’t find any help. After poking around in VS, I was able to figure it out. The process is really quite simple and we’ll step through the process.

Prerequisites: Visual Studio 2013+, Microsoft Azure SDK 2.8.2

If you don’t currently have Visual Studio you can download Visual Studio Community 2015 for free. The Azure SDK can be downloaded or upgraded from within Visual Studio itself.

Azure Data Factory is a cloud based data integration service. This helps you to define, schedule and manage data pipelines to transfer and transform the data from disparate on premise and cloud data sources. Read on to learn more.
